I messed around with some Ohio rc stuff years ago and your right they are heavy and overbuilt similar to the old Lanier kits, They require big time mods to get them light. I own a 44% extra with the 212. It is 48 lbs dry with a smoke system, gobs of power at that weight. I believe Bill Hemples 52% Bipe is around 50lbs and tears out of a hover. 53lbs for a 43% with a 160 is a little heavy for that size, the 212 will pull it but you want less wing loading. Go with the Yak!!
